The GOP was founded as a third party about seven years before the Civil War. How much worse does it have to get before a third party flies? They’ve tried unsuccessfully so many times.

The GOP has been quietly taking a dump on us for 25 years. Over the past 5 years, it's gotten much worse and much more blatant with Juan McAmnesty and Mitt Obamney and amnesty, among other things.

Clinton and then Bush created the basis for a modern surveillance state and Obama expanded it, and I don't see the GOP doing squat about it. Same with the IRS. They are dragging things out with the hearings, but it's quite clear that they aren't going to do what needs to be done. They are putting on a dog and pony show until the American public is distracted, and then they'll quietly drop it.

The GOP is not standing in the way of this country turning into a socialist/totalitarian nightmare. For every Rand Paul (who supports amnesty) making noise about the NSA, there are 5 Juan McAmnestys and Lindsey Gaymans who support the surveillance state.

I think it’s more like 10 to 1. About 50 patriots on The Hill out of 535 Senators and Reps.

I long for a free constitutional republic once again.

(BTW, I think the amnesty angst is a socialist argument and red herring but that issue should not separate those of us who want freedom over egalitarianism/collectivism.)
